"You have previously been told that the way of creating mana particles is by assimilating with the universe... Your thoughts and wills interact with what has been commonly called dark energy, and the result is the creation of VM particles." I nodded. "Well, that's not exactly right." That sentence alarmed the entire class. Mages improved by understanding more of the world, and therefore they have to follow the scientific method and basic rationality, liking it or not. Believing in a false theory should not actually yield any significant results as far as magic goes... It's impossible to believe we had been seeing things wrongly this entire time. And worse, it could disrupt the foundations of magic that we had built over time. The professor patiently waited for the class to calm down before resuming. "That is indeed how you create mana particles, there's nothing wrong about that. However, VM particles are NOT the only type of particle that can be produced from dark energy interactions." ""Wha-!?"" "How is that even-?" A ruckus exploded once again. I could feel my naturally producing virtual particles flickering in and out of existence, as I lost control of their production. I reckon my reaction should have been one of the strongest in the class, given my degree of faith in that particular professor. The majority would only believe a disruptive theory when they saw it with their own eyes, as a protective measure against falsehoods and... side effects like mine. I temporarily stopped my unstable radiation of mana and focused on the issue at hand. The woman continued: "There are, in fact, different ways of reaching the same place. In this case, different thoughts and wills that can interact with dark energy. The ancients called it the different Daos." Some quick assumptions revealed the logic in her words. Things were starting to get acceptable, magic-wise. "That also means... that there are other ways of creating worldly interactions that would otherwise look like magic, but that aren't actually magic. At least not how we know it." Wait a second... "...And yet, the general populace call it magic none the wise." My VM particles started to quickly flicker and shimmer. "In fact, the history books call it magic, too. However, there have been many of names for this sort of... miracle. Among them..." I broke out in cold sweat. "Divine Intervention, Power of Faith, Sword Intent, Bloodlust, Killing Intent, Fear of Death..." A tense atmosphere pervailed the room. "...Those are all proven states of will that can interact with dark energy. And each and every one of their interactions differ from one another, even if just slightly." I felt my connection to magic being cut off in that moment. "You have all committed a grave mistake. To assume that our 'Path' was the only one that led to knowledge and power is to discard the very first lesson I gave you." I gulped dry. I couldn't help but feel very vulnerable at that moment, especially because her words were correct in their entirety. "In this class, I will teach you about the other paths to power. And teach you how to defend yourselves against them, so this sort of thing does not happen twice. Follow me to the practice field!"

My boyfriend was known as a math prodigy. The night he won the championship, reports that he had plagiarized and cheated were also immediately exposed. As his girlfriend, I was interviewed, but I broke up with him during the interview. Thus, netizens began to speculate that he cheated, and I broke up with him out of shame. His career hit rock bottom, and he became utterly dejected. Three years later, he again participated as a contestant in the International Mathematical Olympiad, with the entire event live-streamed in 360 degrees to prove himself. In that competition, he was still number one. Everyone came to curse me and also to apologize to him. But to everyone's surprise, he proposed to me. He leaned close to my ear and said, "How should I make you experience my hellish three years?" I smiled and accepted his proposal. Whether it's pretense or torture, I don't have long to live. I just want to spend this final time I have left by his side.

When a reader opens a “normal” fantasy book, they expect swords, dragons, and epic drama. And then there’s me. A programmer who wakes up in a new world where magic is math. And I’m the kind of person who hates doing any calculations with all my soul. Programs have always done that for me—and they always will. If the universe thinks I’m going to suffer now… well, I’ve got bad news for the universe. So what if magic is math? Then I’ll just build a calculator. And if I have to—a whole computer. And I’ll become the strongest mage.

“you wanted to see me, Professor Carter?” (Carter Damien) “Close the door, Ms. Piper.” (Paige piper) Paige did, then turned back with the same polite smile she’d worn since stepping inside. “How can I help you sir?” Damien regarded her quietly. “You don’t remember me?” She frowned. “Should I?” A corner of his mouth twitched. “Interesting.” ***** After her anatomy lecture ended, Introductory Calculus was next. Paige sighed as she reached for a fresh notebook. Math had always been her weakest subject, and calculus was the one branch she dreaded most. But pre-med didn’t care about her weaknesses. She’d just have to grind through it. The lecture hall buzzed with low chatter until the door opened. The professor strode in without a word, placing his laptop on the podium as he connected it to the projector. Paige glanced up absentmindedly, only to pause. Something about his side profile felt strangely familiar. Her eyes caught the familiar wolf cut. Paige’s stomach tightened. No. It couldn’t be. As if sensing her stare, he turned to face the class. Time froze. The man she’d slept with the night before was standing at the front of the lecture hall . Her professor! A shocked gasp escaped her lips before she could stop it. Heads swiveled in her direction. Heat flooded her face as his gaze locked onto hers across the rows of seats. Recognition flashed in his dark eyes. Paige’s heart slammed against her ribs so hard she felt dizzy. Passing calculus suddenly seemed like the easiest part of the semester.

Stella Sterling, born into wealth, had always followed the rules. Jaded by the hypocrisy of high society, she suddenly had a whim one day to have an ordinary romance. Thus, a fabricated rumor that Stella Sterling had spent a fortune to hire a Matchmaker from a dating site to find her a partner quickly spread through her circles. Those on good terms with her teased and watched the fun. Those on bad terms with her waited to see her become a joke. Later, an employee from the dating website revealed, "The company was acquired with an investment from a Vicenzan tycoon, and the profile of a certain female member with the surname Sterling was hidden overnight." The public speculated wildly about the identities of the Vicenzan tycoon and the female member with the surname Sterling. - Later on, a candid street photo that was accidentally captured went viral. In the dense night of The Spire on Vesper Island— Beside a Benz, a handsome, composed, and dignified man lifted a striking beauty in a red dress with one arm, pressing her against the car door and lowering his head for a deep kiss. In the faint light and shadow, the woman's flowing hair was swept by the wind, wrapping around the man's finger, which wore a pinky ring. Like a footnote to a romance, and even more like a vintage film frame etched into the axis of time. Someone immediately dug up the man's identity based on clues from the photo. The eldest son of Vicenza's Rhodes Family—low-profile and inscrutable, cold and untamable, and also the powerful contemporary authority of The Vesper Circle. And the alluring, glamorous belle by his side was none other than Stella Sterling. When the street photo spread to the mainland, everyone excitedly exclaimed: "The case is solved, the case is solved—"
